Famous quotes containing the words private and/or quarters:
“stop the darkness and its amputations
and find the real McCoy
in the private holiness
of my hands.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
